Wow!
are you sure you're not from a more archaic time? this one was excellent, and it captured a monk's life so colorfully (which is a feat since it can be a rather colorless life).

Fantastic and I loved the rhyme scheme; it so enhaced the cadence! This was especially profound for me:
Clothed in wonder to embrace,
And make the world a better place. Right on! sam

So very good.
Yes indeed, enlightenment comes at the most unexpected time and in the most unexpected ways. May you always be surrounded by the Light skye

I have a very close friend who gave up everything somewhat reluctantly to become a monk at Notre Dame. This reminded me very much of him. Thanks for sharing! - Chris

Oh but I so enjoyed and applaud you Joe...this again, another masterpiece. A 'Monk' --- I've known several in my lifetime.
